5 Dating Tips for Single Parents (Ebony Magazine)

• Dispose of "your type." Many newly single parents re-enter the social scene seeking the exact replica of the type of people they have dated in their past—good or bad.

• Reject the notion that your next significant other is in one specific location, such as at the nightclub. Don’t expect to meet the love of your life at these events. You could meet your next love interest on an elevator, on the subway or through a friend.

• Single parents and singles in general should be open to the synchronicities of life and allow for opportunity to usher in friendship, and then love.

• While Sisterhood is a beautiful thing, don’t go out with your girlfriends and stick with them all evening. Split up from the girls and socialize with other people.

• Join a local dating group or organization for singles such as www.Flirtingtime.com or www.Meetup.com. These groups host live events in different cities on a regular basis.

That is good advice for a newbie. However, Essence and Ebony need to up their advice levels for us folks who are experienced and need to navigate through the crap out here. It is so different dating these days.
